We thank all our teachers who helped us to gain The goal in our High School, 'twas always our aim. Now that we've attained it we leave you tonight To seek out our niche in the world's hall of fame.

A large crowd attended the semi-formal dance. On December 19, a Snow Dance was held in the school auditorium. An immense crowd assembled and enjoyed the delightful music furnished by the B's from Centralia. The high point of the evening came when we chanced off a S30.00, six tube Philco Radio. We exchanged and 1'eceived many novel and appreciated Christmas gifts. A play, Almost Eighteen , was held on March 5. On March 19 a Minstrel was held in the school in order to raise funds for the class. Everyone in the class participated in this great event and it proved a huge success. Many members of the class displayed talents which we had not known to exist. With an ache in our hearts we bid sad adieu to the faculty and friends of Dear Old Conyngham. May her halls forever ring with the happiness we have found in our short stay there. To the classes yet to come, we extend our sincere wishes for the best in everything that they undertake.

' no I'f1-:ff lhfff ly I , r ALMOST EIGHTEEN The play, Almost Eighteen, by Dana Thomas was presented in the High School Auditorium by the Class of 1947 on March 6, 1947. Eddie Barry is almost eighteen and figures it is soon time he begins think- ing of his future. During the past few years he has been praised for his singing and is regular soloist at his home town church. He has great things planned for his future in singing. All he needs to do is close his eyes and presto! An announcer comes up to a microphone and is heard saying, You will now have the pleasure of hearing the one and only Sancho Barry, the king of swing, the boy with the million dollar-billion dollar voice! Sancho Barry . . . His father has a one-track mind and can see only one future for Eddie, to follow his steps in the hardware business. He and his family have lived a comfortable and sociable life and he wants to see his son in the same place. Plans are being made for Eddie to begin working in the store this summer. Eddie hears about a contest giving S250 for the best essay on Truth Today and decides to enter. He tells his Uncle George about it. That is the exact amount Eddie needs to go to summer music school. One of the judges is one of the town's most prominent women, who is jealous of Eddie because she resents Eddie's aggressiveness. Eddie enters the contest, using the pen name of Edward Jones. The day has finally arrived to hear the winner of the contest and who is it ? No one but our Eddie. But all is not well. One of the professors discovers it is an essay written back in the seventeenth century and accuses Eddie of practicing plagiarism. The Barry family is disgracedg they do not believe Eddie when he claims he did not enter it. At this point Eddie's Uncle George comes back from a trip and solves the mystery. He had entered the essay not knowing that it was a copy. The next essay was to receive the prize, and who was the writer of this ? You've guessed it-Eddie Barry. The love interests are taken care of by Eddie, Tom's girl friends, and Miss Warren, the music teacher, who, after waiting for fifteen years, captures Uncle George, a man who believes in having friends-not worldly posses- sions. The future is now bright, clear, and good to the young lad who is almost eighteen. CAST OF CHARACTERS William Barry-Eddie's dad ..,......,.......,. Grace Barry-His mother. ............ .

JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY On September 6, 1944, pupils from Centralia, Conyngham Township, and Union Town- ship were brought together to begin their Freshman year as C. T. H. S. students. The following week we elected Mr. Hunsinger and Miss Gotshall as class advisers, and with their guidance our Freshman year was a successful one. When we returned to begin our Sophomore year, we found that our enrollment was slightly less than that of our preceding year. During this year our class activities included skating parties and dances which will be remembered long after graduation. At the end of the term we sadly said farewell to our beloved adviser, Miss Gotshall, who retired after fifty years of faithful service as a public school teacher. Last September we returned as Juniors and at our first class meeting we unanimously elected Mrs. Martz as a class adviser in place of Miss Gotshall. We gladly welcomed Leon Jurgill as a member of our class. Our first activity was a skating party held at the Midway late in September. The Senior-Junior Prom, an annual event given by the Senior Class in honor of the Junior Class, was held November 15, 1946, at Hotel Loeper, Ashland. All members of the Junior Class a1'e grateful to the Senior Class for the honor they bestowed on us. We received our class rings on December 18 and were well pleased with them. A Christmas Party was held in our homeroom on December 20. The spirit of good-will prevailed, and toys and useful gifts were exchanged. Our next activity was a Valentine Dance held February 12. Music was furnished by the B's of Centralia. The school auditorium was decorated with red hearts and streamers of red and white crepe paper. The stage was beautiful. The large red velvet curtains were held open by two golden cupids, and the music stands of the orchestra were covered with red hearts. A prize was given to the couple that most resembled figures on a valentine and at exactly 10:30 this couple broke through the paper heart on the stage and received a great ovation. On March 28, the Junior Class Play, They Gave Him A Co-Ed , a Comedy of College Life and Youth, was presented to a large and appreciative audience. The Junior-Senior Prom was held on May 16, at Hotel Loeper, Ashland. This out- standing social affair was the last class activity of the term. To the graduating class, we extend hearty congratulations and we hope that as time passes they will discover courage to face handicaps, to buck oppositions, to venture across unknown seas-to forget self and think of others.

SOPHOMCRE CLASS HISTORY On a bright sunny day, September 6, 1946, We the class of '49, started our second trek toward that wonderful goal-Graduation from Conyngham Township High School. We had high hopes of having just as successful a year as our Freshman term has proven and we are happy to say our hopes were fulfilled. Our first meeting, held September 13, was for the purpose of electing officers and making a schedule of activities for the term. The election resulted as follows: President ...A..........,.,,.....,........,i....,.,.,............,...,,,.......,......,....... Gerald Hogan Vice President ,...... ..,..,.

Our class advisers are Miss Kealy and M1'. Linetty. Our first social event was a skating party held at Midway October 23. It was a decided success. The next number was a dance held November 22. It was a howling success, especially when the balloon burst. The Snow Dance held January 30 was a beautiful sight. The decorations were unique, but very seasonable. The choosing of the Snow Queen and her Court of nine beauties was something new in our school. It was a very enjoyable experience. June Corrigan, Locust Dale, was chosen Queen. The dance was largely attended and was a social and financial success. Our next activity was the annual award of a silk quilt on February 21. This proved very successful. A package party, also a new venture, held March 17 was well received by the patrons of the school. We expect to finish the term with an outdoor party at one of the local parks. At this writing the date and place have not been decided. Other activities of the class included a trip to Bloomsburg to learn how a court case is conducted. There are Hfty-eight members in our class, this number being eleven less than last term. Of these eleven, four moved from the district, one is attending Centralia Borough School, and six are working on permits. The Sophomore Class wish to extend to the graduating class congratulations and sin- cere wishes for success in all their endeavors.

FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY September 4, 1946, was an outstanding day in the lives of the twenty-five girls and thirty-one boys who came from Conyingham Township, Centralia, and Union Township to begin a new phase of life as high school students. On November 1, 1946, the members of our class met and elected our class advisers, Miss Heffner and Mr. Weller.

GIRLS' SPORTS The girls of Conyngham Township are intensely interested in these sports: Table Tennis, Badminton, Soft Ball, Volley Ball, and Basketball. On the night of November 4, 1946, the girls of our school played a very interesting basketball game with the Immaculate Heart Academy Girls at the Academy. They won the game 41 to 30. Our first home game was held in the school auditorium December 6, 1946. In preparing for this game six Seniors, six Juniors, and four Sophomores were chosen. The girls practiced persistently for the intramural games which were held at our school on Friday afternoons. The first game was played Decem- ber 13, 1946. The last game was played on March 21. Everyone attended the games and cheered for their class team. The Sophomores won the first game of the season. After the Intramural games ended, a trophy was awarded to the captain of each team and a medal was given to each member of the winning team. Under the capable training of our coach, Miss Loretta C. Horan, these games proved interesting and exciting. The Seniors had chosen the following girls to represent their class in the Intramural games: Marcella Fago Cforwardl Reda Hinderliter Cguardj Dolores Birster Cforwardj Alice Eroh fguardj Faye Wesner fforwardb Rose Billet fguardj Elizabeth Wagner lforwardl Evelyn Hinderliter fguardj Norma Hinderliter Cforwardj Kathryn Maxin fguardl Dorothy Briggs fforwardJ Elizabeth Wagner Page fz f ty Top Row-Clair Hoffman, William Bernotski, Edward Horn, Joseph Zinkiewicz, Donald Herman, Raymond Rishel.

BOOTERS Immediately after school started Coach Elton Hunsinger called out a large number of candidates for the soccer team. Several members of the squad had Won their varsity letter during the previous year. From this group Coach Hunsinger chose a Well-balanced squad that suffered only one loss in fourteen contests. During the course of the year the Blue and Gold played the first night soccer game ever played in Pennsylvania. After winning the championship of the Columbia County League, the Blue and Gold went on to win the first state playoff in the history of the Conyngham Township High School. Later the team was defeated by Mc- Clure at Bucknell University in the eastern finals of the state. Had the Mounties Won this game they would have been qualified to play for the State Championship at Penn State College. Through graduation the team will lose Antonio Androde, Arnold Wagner, and Kenneth Wolfe from the lineg Michael Donahue and Frank Furgiuele from the back field 3 and Joseph Zinkiewicz from the goal.

HOOPSTERS The close of a very successful soccer season brought to an end another sport in which our school was destined to be successful. Coach Elton Hunsinger's first call for basketball candidates was answered by a host of varsity men led by Frank Furgiuele, Bill Wetzel, Charlie Getchey, Joe Zinkiewicz, and Mike Donahue. Arnie Wagner, Ken Wolfe, Ed Yanuskie- wicz and Tony Androde were also destined to play an important part in the team's success. The boys worked hard to keep Conyngham up where Conyng- ham teams have always been-with the best of them. In the course of the season, Conyngham sported an impressive record, winning thirteen of fourteen exhibition games. The Mounties were regarded as one of the teams to watch in the Keystone League and proved so by being runner up in the first half, losing only to Coal Township defending Champs 22-20. An even better record was anticipated during the play in the second half. The team will lose eight of its ten varsity boys through graduation. This means hard work is ahead for the boys next year if they are going to keep Conyngham among the best. Frank Furgiuele SCHEDULE Score C.T. OPP. Dec. Butler Twp. ,,... Home 45 36 Dec.

DIAMOND DUST In the very early spring of 1946, Coach Elton Hunsinger called a band of eager boys to- gether for our baseball team. About thirty- three boys signed up for the team and twenty were chosen as able candidates. The Mountie s, although lacking steady pitching, were po- tentially strong in both fielding and batting. u During the second half' of the league season, the team Was under the leadefshlp Of MI'- William McGinley and Mr. Joseph Linetty, co- Coaches. l At the end of the season, when averages were compiled it was found the aggregation was really a batting team.

THE CURTAIN CALLERS On September 19, over sixty high school students who are interested in Dramatics met and elected these officers: Norma Hinderliter President .....,,.,....... ....... Vice President ....,.,., .......... H arry Fennessy Barbara Rishar Ruth Fenstermacher Secretary .........................,.........,.............. Treasurer ,.... . ,..............,......... ......... This club now boasts of eighty-six enthusiastic members of the student body and is under the able supervision of Mrs. Martz and Miss Kealy. Realizing that the stage was in need of renovation, one of the first activities of the club was to raise money for this purpose. The sum of 359.553, the result of this effort, was used to buy scenery and stage properties. Since all members have a wonderful spirit of cooperation and are aware of the benedts derived from Dramatics, they participated in the club's p'ay productions. Because this club is not only a means of acquiring a knowledge of Dramatics but also a source of pleasure, it is our sincere desire to continue this study. We hope that the undergraduates will be interested in joining the Club. During our successful year we presented programs in observance of these occasions: Pennsylvania Week Halloween--A Play-'AA Quiet Evening Book Week Thanksgiving Day Christmas-A Christmas Carol, an original dramatization of Dickens' charming story, readings, and duets. Washington's Birthday-A One-Act Play- A Dish of China Tea Arbor Day I Am An American Day Ruth Fenstermacher.

DEPENDABLE ASSISTANTS The Library Club organized for the first time this term has its first objec- tive the training of students in the care and knowledge of the library books. It is hoped that through this work a real appreciation of good reading will be attained. Another duty of the Club is the work of building up a library fund by the sale, each day, of soft drinks. This fund is used to purchase magazines, mending materials and some books. Some of the members have brought growing plants for the library. A small but brilliant Christmas tree was trimmed and appropriate window dec- orations were hung. Many favorable comments have been heard on the new location of the library. Two rooms are now given over to this important part of high school work. All reference books are used in Room 14. All other library business is transacted in Room 13. There are over twenty-eight hundred volumes in the library. We have ten complete sets of encyclopedia. A cordial invitation is extended to all patrons of the school to visit the library and feel at liberty at all times to make use of its books whether of fiction or reference. We wish to thank Mr. John J. Reilley, Mr. R. M. Kostenbauder, Mr. Norman Klischer and Hon. George Getchey for contributions of books.
